• •Page 2 <br /> Memo re: Zoning Ordinance Amendment -B-4 Central Business District <br /> June 25, 2001 <br /> Policies proposed as part of the new Land Use Agenda, currently being prepared by the City's <br /> comprehensive planning consultant, include the following: <br /> 1. Discourage buildings being set back from the sidewalk line, parking should be <br /> located behind buildings in the downtown area, <br /> 2. Encourage non-automobile traffic to and within downtown, <br /> 3. Support and recruit new destination retail, differentiate from auto-oriented retail <br /> competition. <br /> The uses enumerated as inconsistent are designed more for suburban or auto-oriented commercial <br /> areas. There are few, if any, existing structures in the downtown district where these facilities could <br /> utilize existing buildings without demolition of potential historic resources. By their nature, several <br /> of these uses directly conflict with the goals of the Land Use Agenda and the recommendations of <br /> the consultant preparing the land use agenda. In addition, the establishment or re-establishment of <br /> some of these uses in the downtown may have a negative impact on ongoing efforts to revitalize the <br /> area. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objectors to this petition. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The City Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend <br /> approval of this petition at the June 7, 2001 hearing. Minutes of the meeting are attached. <br /> , STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Dane Bragg at <br /> 424-2781. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None. <br />
